I was digging through my recipes over the weekend and came across this pasta which had an interesting mix of ingredients.  Striving to eat healthier meals and the fact that I had almost every ingredient, I threw it together and was pleased with the results!  It's a delightful mix of flavors and textures.  Loved all the pretty colors together as well :)
